When/where to wear it: Don this dress shirt anytime you want to make an impact. It will be complimented best by a cool party or that high-end hot spot you’ve been dying to check out.

Black suit with white stitching

Whether or not you need a suit right now, you need this one. Comme des Garcons is known for its impeccable tailoring, so for only $299, you’ll get a suit that will look like you paid substantially more for it. And in true CDG style, Kawakubo has added quirky detailing, such as contrasting white stitching on the button holes, to keep this suit fresh and modern.

When/where to wear it: At this price, go ahead and wear this suit for no special reason. For a stylized yet relaxed ensemble, pair it with one of CDG for H&M’s polka-dot printed dress shirts and push up the sleeves on your blazer.

Black belted trench coat

A classic belted trench in a go-with-everything color is given a contemporary spin with contrasting white stitching.

When/where to wear it: This jacket is the kind of piece that can elevate even the most casual of outfits on just about anybody, from Jerry Seinfeld to George Clooney. So, throw it on over everything from pajamas to a suit to look instantly posher.

Black peacoat

Yet another piece from the CDG for H&M collection that’s sure to become one of your wardrobe staples, this peacoat has a timeless cut but urban appeal thanks to its sturdy construction.

When/where to wear it: Button this coat up all the way to show others you’re a stand-up, clean-cut guy. When you’re not at the office or dressing to impress, try fastening only the top two buttons for a more cavalier look.

Fedora

Yes, fedoras are still popular, and they remain so because a hat is a quick way to inject some fun into your outfit. Fortunately, this gray H&M version won’t set you back much, so even if you only wear it a handful of times, it’s a worthwhile purchase. When/where to wear it: Highly recommended for weekends, parties or night clubs, this hat will give suits or even a simple jeans and tee combo a hip, downtown vibe.
